A brilliant episode that essentially does right what Arthur has been doing right all along.

This episode follows the typical Arthur episode. The result of the baking contest was lame however as the end of most contests on Arthur are. The celebrity chef was a treat as most guests are on the show. This episode did not however land into the classic realm for Arthur episodes. The plot is too dull and obvious. Especially for the second half. While, yes, there are some humorous happenings in this episode, it is not nearly as brilliant as other ones. In Conclusion, this is a nice episode to watch if you like the cook dude, but other than that, its lame.moreless

Season 10 Finale

This episode of Arthur was the Season 10 finale episode. I think that the seasons for these past couple of years have been too short but this review isn't about that it is about the episode. The first story in this episode was about a chef coming to town to hold a competition about whoever could cokk the best foods. Arthur tried to make a cake but he messed up the ingredients. At the end of the story Arthur's dad ended up bringing Arthur some brownies and everyone in the competition learned that they were winners. The second story was about Buster becoming the mailman at his school. Buster was taking his job too seriously after he met a mailman and the mailman told him that mailmen work also everyday all the time. Buster learned that he shouldn't take things too seriously because he was only able to have the job for one week. Overall this episode to me was average. I think that I am getting older and Arthur is getting to young for me.moreless
